Description:
Photograph (black and white) from an album; Pede Fort or Dzong on the shores of the sacred Yamdrok or Turquoise Lake. This is an aerial view taken with a telephoto lens from a mountainside behind the fort. The image shows the fort standing on a small peninsula jutting into the lake, with part of a settlement behind. Roof tops are visible in the bottom left corner. Grain threshing grounds enclosed by stonework walls can be seen in the lower left of the image. Ruins of other outbuildings attached to the fort can be seen around the structure at a lower level. There is a rectangular space enclosed by a stonework wall on the left of the image. Chapman commented in the Mission Diary that there appeared to be quite extensive depopulation of this area, evidence by the numbers of ruined houses and abandoned farms to be seen. Chapman visited this area twice, once in August and once in December 1936. This photograph was probably taken on the latter occasion
